She told me she had no idea that he had a girlfriend, never
mind that he would never leave her.
Ms A had a few drinks and decided she would confront him. She travelled up to Bradford in a taxi.
Whilst in the taxi , the driver was aware she had had
too many and contacted the police.
Ms A was arrested for drunk and disorderly, brought to the cells and subsequently released without charge.
During an intervention with me, she told me she struggled with alcohol and had a
personality disorder. She had been previously received support and
intervention from Mental Health in Manchester. Due to funding cuts she was unable to continue to
receive the therapy she needed.
I was concerned that Ms A would miss receiving the support she needed and deserved because she did not reside in Bradford.
I liaised with the Mental Health Nurse from the Liaison and
Diversion team, expressing my concerns and she contacted the Liaison and
Diversion team in Salford.
This resulted in a Mental Health Nurse contacting Ms A,
arranging an assessment and referral for a review on her Mental Health.
Since that day, Ms A forwarded me a message
expressing her appreciation.
"I am a fighter but it was with your help that I may get resolution.
Don’t underestimate what you are doing. You are a special person that
does not get much thanks. I am thanking you. Please keep helping
people like me. It might not look like you are aren’t making a difference
but you are. I was almost a broken women. Maybe I am but
you made me laugh and even though it's your job, you made me feel like I
am worth saving. You are genuine. When it's impossible to trust anyone,
you came through for me. It's not just words, it's truth, you kept your
word. You helped me, don’t forget me or how much you help people".
